The Echo

100% Local - 100% Independent - 100% Free

A vibrant, independent community newspaper covering the Northern Rivers, with a particular focus on the Byron Shire and surrounds. Established in 1986 to give a voice to the rise of the counterculture in the area, The Echo has maintained a fierce pursuit of truth, and supported the irreverent, quirky voice of the community ever since.

The website echo.net.au is a fully-established free news platform, covering the Northern Rivers and NSW Far North Coast. With a large reach, it hosts a strong local subscriber base and is a ‘go-to’ reference point for the community.

The voice of the community since 1986.
